Using oil-dispersing chemicals during the massive 2010 spill in the Gulf of Mexico likely did far more damage than good to a crucial aquatic animal, according to new research that wades into the hotly contested question of whether and when to use the chemicals following an oil spill.The dispersant used by oil company BP, when mixed with crude oil, was found to be 52 times more toxic than oil alone to some microscopic plankton-like organisms called rotifers.About 6.8 million litres of the chemical – called Corexit 9500A— were released into the Gulf of Mexico to try to mitigate the devastating underwater petroleum leak caused by the explosion of the Deepwater Horizon offshore oil rig on April 20, 2010.http://www.cbc.ca/ne...fers-study.html

It's destroyed the gulf . They kept tons of it out of the media,and are still doing so .
We have BP gas stations all over here,and when I see people go in to gas up ,I scream aloud WHAT THE **** IS WRONG WITH YOU !?!?!?
I hate them .

So it's finally coming out now and all the "conspiracy nuts" where right... lol (it's not actually funny)

They also used Corexit EC9527A which the proprietary composition is unknown to the public. So only the high up people at BP know what was in that one.

Fishermen in the area have been complaining for years about the shellfish etc being toxic from it, they have to be really picky. There is also evidence of people having serious skin conditions because of this stuff. (these people where laughed at, but this is starting to come out)

Supposedly people say that it has that synthetic life form made to eat oil.

The chemical makeup of the patented 'dispersants' is a "trade secret" ... that's the reason we can't know what it really is. I've heard that what the 'dispersants' actually do, is make the oil sludge sink to the bottom... (great idea huh!?) out of sight out of mind seemed to be the strategy .
